Drew Holcomb & the Neighbors is singer/songwriter Drew Holcomb’s four-piece band, offering fans their distinct blend of americana, rock and country that has grown out of the Nashville (US) scene.
The Memphis, TN (US) native didn’t pick up the guitar until he began attending the University of Tennessee, quickly taking to the instrument in between his studies, soon writing his own songs. In 2004, Holcomb had recorded his first EP, “Lost & Found,” which impressed the label Istra. The following year, Holcomb had completed his debut album, “Washed in Blue,” which dropped in May.
Holcomb’s next effort was the live album, “Live in Memphis,” in 2007, capturing his sauntering americana. After a relocation to Nashville, Holcomb assembled a backing band, becoming the act, Drew Holcomb & the Neighbors, with the first release credited to this new group of musicians being the independently released “A Neighborly Christmas,” also in 2007.
Holcomb’s Neighbours featured Nathan Dugger (guitar), Rich Brinsfield (bass) and Jon Radford (drums), as well as wife Ellie Holcomb, who contributed backing vocals. Drew holcomb & The Neighbours then returned in 2008 with “Passenger Seat,” released on Magnolia Music. Success was building for the band, finding chart success in 2011 after the release of “Chasing Someday,” which reached 183 on the Billboard 200.
This taste of chart success was not about to end for Holcomb and his band, finding their 2013 release, “Good Light,” peaking at number 84 on the Billboard 200. Continuous touring has certainly helped the band’s popularity, playing alongside the likes of Ryan Adams, Needtobreathe, The Avett Brothers and Los Lobos, also appearing at festivals such as Bonnaroo. With 2015’s “Medicine,” Drew Holcomb & the Neighbors found their record shooting to number 47 on the Billboard 200, further cementing their rise to success.
